I've never tried Cherry Heering and don't want to add seldom used bottles to my blooming bar (many are on the ground and some in my bedroom). I've searched for substitutions and haven't seen Luxardo cherry syrup from the jar of cherries as a sub. I understand that it's non alcoholic so maybe that's why, but in a cocktail like The Simon where it calls for only 1/4oz Heering I'd be interested to know what people who've tried Heering & Luxardo syrup think.

I agree with Dave, I think the maraschino cherry syrup would be an okay substitute, particularly at just 1/4 oz. I think adding a teaspoon of Cynar or Averna, if you have one of those, will balance out the sweetness while adding the herbal component that the syrup is missing.

Daniel, I think the syrup would be a decent substitute. Aside from the alcohol taste, they're in the same ballpark

Do you ship to the usa?

We ship our book and Easy Jigger to the USA but not alcoholic products due to issues with duty, tax, licensing and state laws.

I tried to like this. I felt like I ought to like it since it plays a key role in a couple iconic cocktails (Singapore Sling, Blood and Sand, etc.) but I have to agree with Mr. Murray. It's reminiscent of a prominent brand of cough medicine in the USA. The flavor is all cherry no brandy. I can't imagine a situation where the flavor profile of a cocktail would not be improved (if altered) by substituting Luxardo Maraschino. But I admittedly have a dry palate.

Luxardo Maraschino has a very different flavor from Cherry Heering. I'd first reduce the amount of Heering, to keep it from overwhelming while preserving the original flavor of the cocktail. Swapping Luxardo for Heering would yield a different drink altogether.

Took me sometime to acquire a bottle of this liqueur and I'm completely underwhelmed. Cloying and jammy, the result if you made a port reduction, heavy and syrupy. The first cocktail I tried was the Blood and Sand the Heering just overpowered the drink with a prune jam flavour. Previously I have made this cocktail with De kuyper's Cherry Brandy Liqueur which has a bright cherry flavour drying down to almond and vanilla and is perfect for making the Blood and Sand a more complex drink.

FYI: you have Cherry Heering listed as a Swedish product but, as you note in the description, it's Danish.

Cherry Heering was originally Danish but was purchased by a Swedish family. Then in 2017, it was acquired by De Kuyper so it is now Dutch-owned and made. I've changed the country of origin accordingly. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Hi, I believe this gorgeous liqueur is produced in Sweden for the Danish company.
